Shimano STEPS CITY/TREKKING features automatic shifting.

Your speed, pedal pressure and cadence are tracked by intelligent sensors...,

...that communicate with the lightweight, compact and near-silent motor.

Going uphill?

The sensors measure your declining speed, increasing pedal pressure and slower cadence...

...and send a signal to the internal Di2 gear hub to automatically shift to a lower gear.

Going downhill?

Whatever your riding situation, the sensors pick it up...and your gearing adjusts automatically.

All gear changes are easy to follow on the compact display.

And of course you can always manually change gears.

Need to suddenly break?

Start Mode automatically changes to a lower gear...

...so you can easily get back up to speed!

My Mom Worked At BuzzFeed For A Day - Duration: 5:42.

I recently started a little support group,

the JMA group, the Jewish Mothers Anonymous group.

(audience laughter)

Last week we were talking about weaning our sons

off of breast feeding by the age of nineteen.

(audience laughter)

(light music)

Alright guys, so I recently got a job at BuzzFeed

and my mom, she made faces,

she doesn't think it's that hard of a job

she's not impressed.

It's an arts and crafts job

that you get paid for.

You have to make a video today.

Yes, I'm up for the challenge.

You think you'll do well? Yes, I know I will do well.

And then you're going to perform stand-up.

Okay, how many minutes?

Five minutes.

Five minutes?

Okay, I can talk for five minutes.

I'm funny, people laugh at my jokes.

I kill me.

Tell me one funny joke right now.

So the guy goes to the pharmacist,

he puts his penis on the table,

puts a dollar next to his penis.

Nope.

Nope nope.

My mom does this terrible Seinfeld impersonation

that just, she finds hilarious.

What's the deal with taxi cabs?

(laughing)

I'm going to have the best time

at BuzzFeed, I think it will be just fun

and exciting and interesting

and the time is just gonna fly by

and I'm gonna produce a 25 million views video.

So this is the BuzzFeed reception.

Espresso mild, espresso bold, espresso bland,

americano, double espresso.

I had to make several coffees

because this was a very complicated process.

Okay, this one is better.

I don't know what to do with this one.

I'm gonna trash it, carefully.

I have to go find my safe space

and be productive.

This is productive workspace.

It's like a (beep) dreidel.

Oh my god how do I get off this chair?

Alright, I think I'm ready.

I'm ready for this.

I can do this, I can't hear anything.

I'm deaf. Whoa.

It's dying.

Oh here it is.

Oh shit, it's under the table.

This is not intended for my age group.

I need a rest. I need a nap.

I need lunch.

So I did a little research on kind of

what you guys do well,

what are the good statistics.

And it seems that videos that have animals in them go viral.

That's true. Right.

So I was thinking, how cool would it be

if we did a video where people

act like certain animals for a day?

And you know, like I'd go like this,

and like do that kind of stuff.

Or like I could be a dog and go like

pet me pet me pet me. Uh huh.

Oh yeah.

So we could do rooster people,

we could do a cow person, like.

(sped-up speech)

What has been the best idea recently at Buzzfeed?

Farts in a jar off eBay.

And had people smell them, so.

Maybe that, is that getting juices going in your--

I could do it without the jar.

Can we do farts without the jar?

Just smell farts?

(laughing)

People smell farts?

Maybe we can do a video where

you try to recognize your relatives

by the smell of the fart.

This is very challenging.

I need to actually find people to film

in this ridiculous video that I'm doing.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for a cast, for guys who can recognize

the farts, or girls, of their significant others.

Oh.

Would you be willing to be my cast?

He's married. He's married?

So he should definitely be able to help you out.

No?

You know I hate to admit it,

this was not as easy as I thought.

I got my idea approved, so that was good,

I got to that point, but then the equipment

completely threw me off.

So I'm gonna focus on my stand-up routine.

So that I can at least succeed in one part of this task.

Here's the thing at comedy mic.

We really just want to be

the most supportive mic in New York City.

(beep), it's a full house.

I was not envisioning a real place,

I thought that this was going to be staged

and scripted, and it's (beep) not.

And there's like real people in there.

Our next comic is making her comedy debut.

(audience applause)

Give it up for Irine Tabach everybody.

Hi guys.

Yeah, I have to figure this out.

How do you use this?

My son came out to me.

This is still a little sensitive, you know,

I'm from the old country,

a different generation,

totally different upbringing.

He sat me down and told me that he's

not going to medical school.

(audience laughter)

So my son took me to take your parent to work day.

I kid you not, they have that at BuzzFeed.

It was like a really cool daycare for older kids.

(audience laughter)

Yeah, they do arts and crafts projects all day

and they get paid for it.

(audience laughter)

Everything free, free coffee, free candy,

free massages, free alcohol,

play room, game rooms.

You know, I grew up in the former Soviet Union

but I found communism at BuzzFeed.

(audience laughter)

Okay, that was pretty impressive mom.

I was very surprised with myself.

Actually, people laughed.

Have you learned anything from today?

I've learned that my son actually

has a very challenging job

producing these viral videos.

These guys are very talented.

- [Eric] My mom's got a new special coming out

on Netflix, it's called--

- [Irine] I kill me.

I Wore "Thong" Jeans For A Day - Duration: 3:58.

- I feel like a doll that a mean older sister took

and then like ruined her clothing.

(upbeat music)

- I was looking online and I found these high fashion

Thong Jeans that debuted at Amazon Fashion Week in Tokyo.

They're basically just jeans with everything

cut off of them except for the seams.

My first thought was, Sara's gotta try these.

So I went and tried to find them but it seems like the only

place that the designer sells is within Japan.

So I am going to DIY them.

Let's do this.

Honestly, this seems like a waste of perfectly good jeans.

They are complete.

I'm gonna go find Sara and make her try them.

- [Chelsea] I made them for you

- Oh my God.

I'm gonna put these thong jeans on

and I don't know why I agreed to do this.

Can you imagine not wearing anything with these?

You would be seeing everything.

Fight.

I look like a video game character

because video game characters always are wearing outfits

that you're like, "Why?".

People of New York City always surprise me

with how much they like the weird pants I put on.

So this time I'm gonna guess that

they're absolutely love the thong jeans.

What do you think of my pants?

- Are you sure those are really pants?

- Yours are like my jeans on steroids.

- I'm even surprised you can call them pants,

but I like them.

- Wow.

- It's all about deconstructionism really.

Obviously, this is breaking it all down

and then you know, not building it back up.

Just leaving it down.

- I think they're interesting and cute and fun.

I think it depends on what you're wearing underneath them.

- A bitch knows to layer in Manhattan.

- Where would you see these pants again?

- The beach would be great.

- What you're doing is perfect with these pants.

- Museum Installation.

- Amazing.

So you're basically saying these jeans are a work of art?

- Maybe if you like wore it to the beach,

just like an easy over thing.

That'd be kinda cute and sexy, I guess.

- So what would you call these?

- I think I'll go with fake pants.

- Fants.

- Outline Jeans.

- Rags.

- Oh my God.

- Strip tease jeans.

- These are, the internet is calling these thong jeans.

- Fun pants.

- A g-string.

- G-jeans, like g-string.

- What celeb can pull this off?

- Rihanna.

- Rihanna will walk outside and go to the Grammys

with this and we'd be like, "Oh my gosh, yes."

- Taylor Swift.

- Tina Turner, for sure.

- Jaden Smith would pull this shit off.

- Sansa, from Game of Thrones.

- Lebron.

- I'd like to see him dunk with these.

Do you guys think that this is a trend that will catch on?

- Definitely make parents not happy and kids love that.

- Maybe if you started this beginning of summer,

it's possible.

- Wear them confidently and have your friends wear them

and let's see how it spreads around.

- I have a lot of old pairs of jeans

that I don't know what to do with them.

So if I cut them up, yeah, I can see it happening.

- You look great, you do.

- I'm back in from wearing the thong jeans out.

It was an experience.

I'm not really into these pants,

but I'm still very happy that I went out

to the streets of New York City

and asked people what they thought.

Because people are really nice and friendly

and even if they were mean about the jeans,

they were nice to me and they made me feel good.

The young man I interviewed said that

I was pulling them off because I have confidence.

Which is not something I really felt

but apparently I exuded it.

So, that's good to know, that maybe

even if you don't feel confident in what you're wearing

you can look confident and that's enough.

Alright, well, I'm gonna take them off now.

I mean, or I just leave them on

'cause it's like I'm wearing nothing anyway.

(laughing) That was so lame.

- Alright, this is a commentator on society,

take her seriously no matter what her fashion choices are.

That's a very personal and individual subjective thing.

You can not really judge someone

based on their fashion statement.

- Thank you so much.

Death Date Announced For The Internet - Duration: 8:41.

AJIT PAI IS HEAD OF THE FCC, THE FEDERAL INDICATIONS

COMMISSION, AND HE'S HONESTLY A CORPORATE HACK.

HE USED TO WORK

FOR VERIZON, GOT PAID A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM THEM, THEN

REPUBLICANS PUT HIM AT THE FCC TO MAKE SURE HE CHANGED THE

RULES IN FAVOR OF COMPANIES LIKE -- VERIZON.

IT'S NOT JUST THEM,

IT'S AT&T AND OTHER INTERNET PROVIDERS.

NOW, THE REASON YOU

HAVE THE INTERNET AS YOU DO NOW, WHICH IS FREE AND OPEN, IS

BECAUSE THERE WERE REGULATIONS PUT INTO PLACE.

THE REGULATIONS

DO NOT GO AND INTERFERE WITH THE INTERNET, IN THIS CASE IT'S A

REGULATION THAT SIMPLY PROTECTS THE INTERNET, THAT SAYS THAT

COMPANIES WHO HAVE THE PIPES GOING INTO YOUR HOUSE CANNOT

THEMSELVES REGULATE THE INTERNET UNFAIRLY, AND SLOW DOWN SOME

WEBSITES, SPEED UP OTHER WEBSITES, AND CREATE AN UNEQUAL

INTERNET.

ALL IT DOES IS PROTECT THE INTERNET.

SO AJIT PAI WAS

BROUGHT IN TO DESTROY THAT, AND IN MAY HE GOT HIS FIRST VOTE

THAT HE WANTED, TO BEGIN TO END NET NEUTRALITY.

AS WE GO THROUGH

THIS EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY THE RIGHT WING IS ACTUALLY OPPOSED

TO HIM, THE ONES THAT ARE ONLINE, AND WHY THEY ARE RIGHT.

FIRST LET ME GIVE YOU WHAT HAPPENED TODAY --

NOW, LET ME BEGIN THE EXPLANATION FOR THE

RIGHT-WINGERS.

YOU MIGHT SEE THAT AND SAY IF REPUBLICANS LIKE

HIM I SHOULD LIKE HIM, AND OBAMA ERA REGULATIONS, SCARY -- OBAMA

DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE THE INTERNET COME HE JUST PASSED

REGULATIONS SAYING YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE INTERNET,

DON'T CHANGE IT.

NOW, WHY SHOULD THE RIGHT WING BE MORE CONCERNED

THAN THE LEFT?

LOOK AT ALL YOUR ALT RIGHT GUYS, THEY SAY THINGS

THAT GET THEM BANNED FROM WEBSITES LEFT AND RIGHT, AND IF

GIANT CORPORATIONS ARE REGULATING THE INTERNET THEY

WANT TO BE ABLE TO SELL TO EVERYBODY.

THEY WON'T WANT TO

HAVE THESE RIGHT-WINGERS SAYING CRAZY STUFF ON THE INTERNET, AND

ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE TAKING ON THE ESTABLISHMENT IN THEIR OWN

PARTY OR MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS, THEY AREN'T GOING

TO WANT THAT AT ALL.

YOU GUYS WILL BE THE FIRST ONE THROWN

OVERBOARD, AND THEN THEY WILL COME FOR US.

WHY?

BECAUSE THEY

ARE CORPORATIONS, THEY JUST WANT TO MAXIMIZE THEIR PROFITS.

AND

IF YOUR WEBSITE IS HINDERING THEIR PROFITS IN ANY WAY, SHAPE,

OR FORM, YOU THINK THEY ARE GOING TO CARE ABOUT YOU?

THEY

ARE LEGALLY NOT ALLOWED TO CARE ABOUT YOU.

OF COURSE THEY WILL

SLOW DOWN THE WEBSITES YOU LIKE UNLESS YOU PAY A RANSOM.

YOU

THINK CORPORATIONS ARE YOUR FRIENDS?

THEY ARE NOT HUMANS.

THEY WILL MAXIMIZE PROFIT BY LAW.

ALONG THOSE LINES, THE HILL

REPORTS --

HEY ALL YOU ALT RIGHT GUYS, YOU HAVE ALL THE CASH IN THE

WORLD TO GET INTO A FAST LANE?

I DIDN'T THINK SO.

SO IF YOU DON'T

PAY FOR THE FAST LANE THEY CAN NOW, IF IT PASSES, THEY WILL

HAVE THE FINAL VOTE ON DECEMBER 14, IF THIS PASSES THERE'S NO

MORE NET NEUTRALITY AND THOSE COMPANIES CAN SAY, ONE, YOU

DIDN'T PAY ME A RANSOM, NOW YOUR SITE IS INCREDIBLY SLOW.

LOOK,

NOW THEY CAN'T GO ON YOUR SITE, THEY CAN GO ON MY SITE.

TO THOSE

COMPANIES HAVE A GIGANTIC WEB PRESENCE?

OH MY GOD, HUFF POST

IS PART OF VERIZON, YOU RIGHT-WINGERS, HUFF POST WILL BE

SUPERFAST AND YOUR WEBSITES WILL SUCK.

THEY JUST TOLD YOU, THEY

WILL BE ABLE TO THROTTLE THEM ALL THE WAY BACK.

SO WHY AM I

FIGHTING FOR IT IS A PROGRESSIVE?

BECAUSE I BELIEVE

IN AMERICA AND THE INTERNET AND I DON'T THINK ANYBODY SHOULD BE

THROTTLED.

WE'VE GOT PARTNERSHIP WITH SOME OF THE BIGGEST

COMPANIES OUT THERE ON THE INTERNET, AND WE'LL SEE HOW

THINGS TURN OUT, WE MIGHT BE TOTALLY FINE.

BUT IT IS A

TERRIBLE IDEA OVERALL, A TERRIBLE IDEA FOR THESE

CORPORATIONS TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO REGULATE THE INTERNET BY

THEMSELVES WHEN YOU DIDN'T EVEN VOTE FOR THEM.

THEY AREN'T

ACCOUNTABLE TO YOU.

MORE ON THIS.

JESSICA ROSENWORCEL,

AN FCC COMMISSIONER, SAID --

PHILOSOPHICALLY, THIS IS

ONE OF THE WORST THINGS THE

GOVERNMENT CAN DO.

BECAUSE LOOK AT TV, BOTH FOR THE RIGHT-WING

AND LEFT-WING, YOU THINK THEY REPRESENT YOU?

THEY ARE ALMOST

ALL MILLIONAIRES ON TV.

AGAIN, IF YOU ARE A BERNIE SANDERS

SUPPORTER OR A REPUBLICAN, YOU THINK ALL THOSE GUYS ON CABLE

NEWS VOTED FOR YOUR CANDIDATE?

CANDIDAT I WOULD SAY

APPROXIMATELY 148 OF 150 VOTED FOR HILLARY CLINTON, AND ALL THE

GIANT CORPORATIONS WHO BACKED HER.

THEY ALREADY OWN TV.

BUT

THE INTERNET, IT IS PESKY WITH ITS FREEDOM AND OPENNESS AND

EQUALITY, THEY ARE COMING TO CRUSH IT.

YOU HAVE TO FIGHT

BACK.

YOU KNOW HOW MANY COMMENTS HAVE ARTIE BEEN SENT TO THEM?

22

MILLION.

THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN.

SO I THINK WE HAVE TO SHOW UP,

WE HAVE TO GO TO THEIR HOUSE.

NOT THEIR PHYSICAL HOUSE, THEIR

OFFICE.

LET ME EXPLAIN WHEN THE, REAL VOTE IS, TODAY THEY TOOK

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD BUT --

ON DECEMBER 14 THE FCC BUILDING SHOULD BE SURROUNDED.

I'M A PROGRESSIVE, I BELIEVE IN NONVIOLENCE, BUT I BELIEVE IN

POLITICAL ACTION.

THE ADDRESS FOR THE FCC IS 445 12TH ST SW,

SHOW UP NOW.

I DON'T CARE IF IT'S ONE GUY WITH A SIGN, 100

NURSES, 1000 TEACHERS, WHOEVER IT IS.

FROM THIS DATE TO

DECEMBER 14 YOU SHOULD LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU EXIST, AND YOU

WANT A FREE INTERNET.

THIS PHONE NUMBER IS ANOTHER WAY TO REACH

THEM, NO OTHER CALL SHOULD GET THROUGH.

LET THEM KNOW.

AND

FINALLY, LOOK, I DIDN'T DIG THIS EMAIL UP, IT'S ON THEIR WEBSITE.

WE SENT 22 MILLION COMMENTS AND AJIT PAI APPARENTLY BURNED THEM

IN SOME CAMPFIRE, DOESN'T CARE.

HA-HA, 22 MILLION PEOPLE WANT A

FREE INTERNET.

YEAH BUT THE GUYS WHO PAID ME BEFORE AND THE GUYS

WHO WILL PAY ME AFTER I LEAVE THIS JOB WANT ME TO SELL OUT THE

INTERNET, SO THAT'S WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO.

SO HERE IS HIS

EMAIL, AJIT.PAI@FCC.GOV.

LIKE I SAID, THIS IS PUBLIC

INFORMATION, YOU COULD HAVE FOUND IT ON THEIR WEBSITE AS

WELL, I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING YOU CAN'T SEE IN PUBLIC.

BUT IF THEY

IGNORE 22 MILLION AMERICANS, I GUESS THEY HAVE TO SEE YOU

BEFORE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE REAL.

SO, LOOK, I WISH I

COULD HELP MORE, I WISH I COULD STOP EVERYTHING AND GO FIGURE

OUT A WAY TO ORGANIZE RALLY ON TOP OF RALLY, I'M HANDING IT

OFF.

I'M HOPING YOU CAN BEGIN TO DO THIS ON YOUR OWN OR HAVE THE

RIGHT WING ORGANIZE THE RIGHT, THE LEFT WING ORGANIZE THE LEFT,

MODERATES DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO, BUT STOP BY THE FCC AND

BEGIN THE PROTESTS NOW.

ON DECEMBER 14 THEY SHOULD HEAR YOU

ROAR.

AND IF THEY STEAL THE INTERNET FROM YOU, AT LEAST LET

THEM KNOW YOU AREN'T GOING TO LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT. AND

SHAKE THE RAFTERS A LITTLE BIT.

What would the AT&T-Time Warner merger mean for consumers? - Duration: 5:29.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The Department of Justice announced it is suing to block a mega-merger between

media giants AT&T and Time Warner, a deal initially valued at $85 billion.

It is the first major antitrust case taken up by the Trump administration.

Lisa Desjardins has the story.

LISA DESJARDINS: The Justice Department said this merger would have harmed consumers.

AT&T fired back and said it will challenge the government's move in court.

Some observers have openly wondered if the decision is influenced by the president's

continuing battle with CNN, which is owned by Time Warner.

A short time ago, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said he didn't know if CNN played into the

decision, but it was an open question.

David Shepardson of Reuters has been covering this story, and he joins me now.

David, wow, what a story.

Let's start with these two companies.

At their core, they don't compete.

They're related businesses.

But why is DOJ arguing that they violate antitrust laws?

DAVID SHEPARDSON, Reuters: So, you're right.

These typical vertical mergers, companies which don't directly overlap, generally, those

go through.

But in this case, the Justice Department is saying that the combined company would have

too much power.

AT&T owns DirecTV, a big pay TV subscriber.

It obviously owns mobile phones.

And it would be able to use that content to charge its rival distributors, like Comcast,

hundreds of millions of dollars more per year, as well as pass those costs on to consumers.

So the big argument is going to be, will a judge buy that a larger, vertically consolidated

company pose a threat, or is it a better competitor to new companies like Netflix and Amazon?

LISA DESJARDINS: AT&T fired out a very fiery statement.

They call this a radical and inexplicable departure in the law.

Is this unprecedented as far as the Justice Department goes?

And what is AT&T saying in response?

DAVID SHEPARDSON: So, it is not unprecedented, but it's been about 50 years since the government

took a vertical merger to court.

And, certainly, by comparison, in 2011, the Obama administration allowed Comcast to acquire

NBC Universal, a similar vertical merger.

But a lot has changed.

There are serious concerns about the -- will companies get too large, have too much market

power?

But, on the other hand, AT&T says, look, this is settled law.

If you look at the marketplace, given all the competitors, people are more limited in

the ability to raise prices in this competitive marketplace.

They deny the government's allegations.

But it goes back to the central question about whether then candidate Donald Trump's opposition

to the merger and his criticism of CNN were a factor in this decision.

LISA DESJARDINS: You keep bringing up vertical merger.

And I know a lot of folks will be hearing that.

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Right.

LISA DESJARDINS: But let's talk about the scope of these two companies, what they own.

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Sure.

LISA DESJARDINS: They have massive influence in U.S. and global life.

And can you talk about why they wanted to get together in the first place and what the

effect would it be if they did?

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Right.

You're absolutely right.

This is a huge company.

Beyond DirecTV and AT&T's mobile service, Time Warner owns HBO, TNT, CNN, a lot of -- a

studio, big assets that make a lot of content.

And so AT&T's argument has been to compete with Facebook and Google, the companies that

are getting huge control of the advertising market on the Internet, that they need to

be able to use the data from these three different companies in order to compete with these other

rivals.

So, you know, their argument is, we have to get bigger in order to compete.

And the government's argument is, if you allow them to get this big, they will be able to

deny that content to a rival, and you can only get HBO potentially on DirecTV vs. Comcast,

if they didn't agree to pay higher prices.

LISA DESJARDINS: Right.

You hit on this, so I want to get at what this would mean for consumers.

This might be oversimplifying.

But, to me, it's almost as if Wal-Mart would wanted to buy like LEGOs, a huge product,

two big companies, and they wanted to try and control the market.

How would this affect consumers who, say, get their entertainment not through Time Warner,

through Comcast or another company?

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Right.

So, by your analogy, what would typically happen, and what happened in Comcast, NBC

Universal is the Justice Department asked for behavioral conditions.

That is, the company -- Comcast had to agree not to treat how it used that content differently

than other companies, other rival distributors.

And, in fact, AT&T had raised questions about that in 2011.

So, you know, the difference is here the government is not seeking a behavioral condition, but

rather to sell off certain assets.

They asked AT&T to either sell off DirecTV or Turner Broadcasting, which includes CNN,

so to get smaller, rather than agree to behavioral changes.

LISA DESJARDINS: We don't want you to have that opportunity to affect those marketplaces.

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Right.

LISA DESJARDINS: Quickly -- I'm sorry to make this a short question -- but can you talk

about the CNN factor here and the timing of that?

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Sure.

Well, just last week, President Trump was again criticizing CNN.

As you know, as a candidate in 2016, President -- then candidate Trump said he wouldn't allow

the merger to go through.

Since then, he's not directly commented on it, but AT&T is clearly going to make whether

the president exercised influence over the Justice Department as a result of his anger

with CNN as part of the case.

That's really an open question whether a judge will agree.

LISA DESJARDINS: David Shepardson, what a case, at Reuters.

Thank you for joining us.

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Thank you.

A Comedian Heckled Me For A Day - Duration: 6:09.

How long have you been in a cult?

What's it like to be a Chia human?

You look like you could stick your finger in a socket

without having stuck your finger in a socket.

(upbeat music)

I volunteered to let a comedian heckle me

all day tomorrow.

He's gonna come to my house.

He's gonna wake me up.

He's gonna spend all day with me.

I'm kinda looking forward to it 'cause I like company,

but I also feel like it might get really annoying,

especially if his jokes are bad.

My name is J. Chris Newberg and I've been a comedian

for 18 years.

Throughout my career, I've been heckled from time to time,

but I've never had the joy and pleasure

of heckling someone back.

I volunteered to do this because I think I have really

thick skin and I like good comedy.

I imagine he'll just be like, observing what I do

and making fun of it.

I can't imagine it could get that personal because

how would he know anything about me?

I've never met this guy.

I've done some extensive research on Jordan.

I've looked online at his Facebook and Instagram

and Twitter profiles.

I've talked to his friends.

I've talked to his coworkers.

I've talked to his ex-girlfriend.

I'm comin' at him.

I'm not really sure how I'm going to feel,

'cause I hate everything hecklers represent.

I'm gonna try to be mean,

but I'm not a mean person.

But, fuck him.

It's 7:53 in the morning.

I found Jordan's place.

I'm with Kelly.

She's a producer at Buzzfeed.

She's gonna be followin' me.

We're outside

his apartment.

It's pretty good so far.

It's uh, pretty dirty.

I don't understand the science of this decor.

Like, what girl doesn't come in here,

see this,

and then just leap right off the balcony?

Here's Jordan killing it,

from when he played a young Carrot Top.

I wonder which one of those socks are his girlfriend.

- [Jordan] Hello.

Hey buddy.

(laughs) Super excited to be here

with the third baseman of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Dude, I don't even know who the third baseman is

of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Look in the mirror, buddy.

So, what's it like to be the body double for sadness?

People do say I have resting sad face.

So, I heard you and your girlfriend just broke up.

True. Good for her.

Damn, getting some--

Gettin' deep. Yeah, and you're

putting on your girlfriends. What?

You'll understand later.

How long have you played bass for Mumford and Sons?

You're flossing on the day that you're going to the dentist.

Isn't that like cleaning your house before you have

a cleaning lady come over?

Which, obviously, has never happened.

So, you're putting product in right now?

Mmhmm. That's cool.

How long have you been a before model?

You're like the most handsome of all the Keebler elves.

We're going to the dentist.

You're gonna let him drill ya?

Well, hopefully not. (playful music)

Hopefully, I won't need any drillings.

Maybe just some poking.

Minimal poking, hopefully.

That's cool.

That was my nickname in high school.

Do you find that you're on Tinder most of the time

during sex?

What are your favorite dating apps?

Tinder is the tried and true.

What's your opening line usually, on Tinder?

I don't use repeat opening lines

'cause I think that's insincere.

I use their profiles to come up with opening lines.

What was your favorite that you've ever used?

Oh man, I had a really good one recently.

It didn't get a response and I was bummed about it.

Her profile just said I like people, places, and things.

And, I said, what you got against adjectives?

They probably have very nice things to say about you.

I thought that was pretty good.

It's weird that that didn't get a response.

So, do you still talk to Harry Potter?

Do you get sad when some of your personalities

won't talk to you?

Would you fuck yourself for money?

A-ha-ha-ha-ha, you suck at parking.

So, I've got my first break from getting heckled,

and so far he hasn't gotten under my skin.

Nice guy, I like him.

- [J. Chris] Any final words before they tell you

that you have nine cavities?

I'm really hopin' they don't tell me that.

You're doing so good, Jordan.

(instrument motor running) Hopefully, they'll give you

a little plaque.

What'd you have for lunch?

I had like a chicken pita thing.

It's so hard to be mean to you.

It's just so hard, because everything

that you do is just nice.

Like, there's nothing weird about

having a chicken pita for lunch.

I'm at Jordan's desk now at Buzzfeed.

So, seriously, what happens in the finale

of Game of Thrones?

Dude, you know we're not allowed to talk about that.

I'm here also with Destiny,

his desk neighbor.

What's it like bein' around Jordan all day?

He's a great guy.

Really nice, really quiet.

Kinda sits to himself. No, I said Jordan.

Gettin' ready to go down to the Laugh Factory from The Den.

Gonna get on stage and do some jokes,

and Jordan is gonna heckle me like I've heckled him all day.

Hey, what's up.

How's is goin'?

I'm in pretty good shape.

I'm in really good spirits.

I've lost a lot of weight, ever since I quit--

Is that the shirt you picked?

(playful music)

Did you just pick up the first t-shirt off the floor

that you'd already worn like three times,

and decide, that's the shirt for my set?

(playful music) Uh, yes, actually.

That's what I did.

I decided that.

I asked this girl out once,

and she was like, all right, cool.

But, I want you to know one thing: I'm in AA.

I was like, all right, that's cool,

then you can drive,

'cause I'm gonna get hammered.

I bet she still didn't text you back.

Do you ever notice that sitting down and standing up

sounds a lot like sex?

'Cause you're always like,

oh my god!

It makes sense that you have no idea what sex sounds like.

Aren't you sitting in a booth alone?

Yeah.

I just childproofed my house,

and by that I mean I purchased condoms.

Tell a funny joke. (playful music)

You're all about not laughing at your shit joke?

(laughing)

- [Kelly] So, do you guys feel closer now?

I definitely think that he should answer that first.

Because he knew all these things about me,

and was sort of like digging at them,

I felt like a certain closeness.

Like, oh this person knows me,

and then, throughout the day spending the day together,

I felt like we sort of had a mutual understanding

that we're both going through this experience together.

I think the most frustrating thing

about heckling a nice guy is,

you kinda feel like an a-hole,

because you don't really mean it.

It's like, here's this nice person,

who's just going about their day,

and they're at the dentist and I'm like a-ha, you suck!

I would definitely hang out with you

in real life. Yeah.

I think that'd be fun.

I would do it as long as I didn't have to

come to your apartment.

(rock music)

I Wore Makeup For The First Time In 13 Years - Duration: 6:02.

I just know that I'm just gonna smear it all over my face

(upbeat music)

The last time I wore makeup was

probably when I was in high school.

I was part of an orchestra performance,

I was one of the percussionists.

When I was a kid, I dressed like a boy,

a lot people thought I was a boy for a long time.

I kinda grew out of it but not completely.

It was just never something I wanted to do.

Formal events, or things like that,

I never really got to the makeup part

because just putting on the dress was like a hassle enough.

This year, I've been trying to do things

that are outside my comfort zone.

Maybe I will like some of it, I don't know.

Texted my fiancé about, that I was gonna do

this video he thought I was joking.

I do have an acne problem, if anything,

maybe I'll come across something might help me with that

I don't know, cover it up.

Not touching my face is probably

gonna be one of the biggest things I'll struggle with.

I just gotta do it!

(upbeat music)

Keep your eyes open and look down.

Eyes open, look down. Mhmm.

Okay, hold on (laughs)

Yeah take a second.

(upbeat music)

My eye is watering now.

(upbeat music)

I don't want to see it, if I don't see it,

then I won't know what it looks like,

and I'll be able to go out and do whatever.

Oh gosh.

Oh man.

I think it looks weird (laughs)

Um, because my eyes are like really,

I don't know, it just doesn't look like me.

It looks a lot better with my glasses on (laughs)

It just looks like everything's smooth, I guess.

I like the fact that it evened everything out,

the acne isn't as noticeable and I'm not shiny,

which is desirable for a lot of people (laughs).

Coworkers and friends here, I think they'll probably like it

I think mostly it's just the fact that

I feel like I'm just gonna, just get my hands all up in it.

Alright so, let's go see what my coworkers think.

Do you see anything different about me?

Your eyebrows look different.

Your eyebrows are darker And your eyes

look so different, ahh!

I feel like it's a really, really natural look.

Like it's not like Bozo the clown.

Oh my God

- [Madeline] So Gabby's never seen me wearing makeup.

Never. You look amazing.

Thank you.

But it's like very natural, I love it.

Thanks!

The blush!

You think I look different?

Yeah, I mean, I noticed right away.

Whoa, what?

I'm wearing makeup.

Dude, it's like, it's absolutely perfect.

I'm learning that you need to

be aware of your make-up.

Well I just went to lunch and I learned the difficult task

of eating with stuff on your lips.

It doesn't seem to have smudged all that much

but it definitely felt like it was smudging

and I was hyper-aware of it the entire time.

Your eye makeup is fantastic.

I really like it.

I feel mullet, I'm all fancy on top,

all casual on the bottom.

I just finished this whole drink

without getting lipstick on the straw.

Oh yeah.

I liked it 'cause it matched my shirt.

My face is itching and I wanna, I wanna rub my eyes,

so there's that.

I'm leaving the office for the day

and I survived a day wearing makeup.

It felt more like I was wearing a great Halloween costume

that I felt comfortable in

but expected to go home and change.

It feels okay now, it felt pretty heavy right off the bat.

- [Madeline] So how do I look?

Oh, wow.

Your eyes are like, that's the definitely

the most noticeable.

Did they do your eyebrows?

(laughs) Yeah.

What'd they do to your eyebrows?

They look like,

Do they really?

No.

From this distance, it's not that noticeable.

It's the eyes.

I think I ate most of the lipstick throughout the day.

What do you think, Buzz?

He smells it.

I can't seem to get it all off my eyes.

It wasn't near as bad as I thought it was gonna be.

I expected to really, really mess it up throughout the day,

but surprisingly it all stayed in place

and it was kind of difficult to wash off.

Would consider wearing makeup more in the future.

Foundation, I was, you know, happy with that.

It did cool stuff, made my acne go away,

you know, you're not seeing as many creases or whatnot.

It's uncomfortable because you go out

looking a certain way everyday,

you start doing something different,

it just, it takes a bit of getting used to.

I'm glad I stepped outside of my comfort zone.

I did something new and I did learn something.

Before I really was not interested in at all,

but I know for the future now that I,

there are some things that I could learn and could use.

And would be happy with.

What should accountability for sexual misconduct look like? - Duration: 10:29.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Let's turn now to the almost nonstop fallout from sexual misconduct revelations.

In our latest "PBS NewsHour" poll, done in conjunction with Marist College and NPR, we

asked about sexual harassment.

More than 20 percent of people, including 35 percent of all women, say they have experienced

sexual harassment or abuse in the workplace.

Nearly 30 percent of all people say they have personally seen someone harassed or abused.

Meanwhile, the allegations continue to reverberate.

Lisa Desjardins begins with this report.

LISA DESJARDINS: There was news nearly every hour, including the President Trump's first

personal words about Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, stressing Moore's denial of allegations

of sexually assaulting teen girls.

Earlier, the spotlight had been on another powerful man.

Michigan Democrat John Conyers, now the latest accused of sexual misconduct, is the top Democrat

on the House Judiciary Committee, which oversees the justice system.

Overnight, BuzzFeed News reported that, in 2014, a former staffer filed a complaint alleging

Conyers fired her for rejecting his sexual advances.

The report says he settled that case with money from his office budget, and that other

staffers filed affidavits that Conyers touched them inappropriately and regularly asked for

sexual favors.

In a statement this afternoon, the Michigan Democrat vehemently denied the allegations,

and insisted he settled the case to -- quote -- "save all involved from the rigors of protracted

litigation."

And in yet another story about U.S. lawmakers, Colorado Congresswoman Democrat Diana DeGette

told MSNBC that a fellow House member physically assaulted her years ago.

REP.

DIANA DEGETTE (D), Colorado: I was in an elevator, and then-Congressman Bob Filner tried to pin

me to the door of the elevator and kiss me.

And I pushed him away.

LISA DESJARDINS: Filner became mayor of San Diego in 2012.

He left that office under a cloud of different sexual harassment allegations.

And, finally, there was news about Minnesota Senator Al Franken, accused of inappropriate

touching or kissing.

NBC released a letter it said was from several dozen women who worked with him on "Saturday

Night Live."

They defended Franken, saying he treated them with respect.

Complaints about members of Congress seldom become public because anyone filing a complaint

must sign a nondisclosure agreement.

And unlike most of the federal government, neither the Freedom of Information Act nor

the Federal Records Act apply to Congress.

So, members don't need to keep e-mails or other records of what they do, nor make any

of that publicly available.

And Congress is far from alone.

USA Today looked at America's statehouses, and found that, in the last year, at least

40 state lawmakers in 20 states have been publicly accused by more than 100 people of

sexual misconduct.

And still more news.

Late this afternoon, Disney Animation chief John Lasseter, one of Hollywood's most powerful,

announced a leave of absence from his job at Pixar following reports that he was known

for grabbing and kissing women.

For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm Lisa Desjardins.

JUDY WOODRUFF: With resignations, suspensions and firings announced daily as new stories

come to light, it is prompting ever more questions about what the consequences should be.

We explore that now with Maya Raghu.

She is senior counsel at the National Women's Law Center and she focuses on women's issues

in the workplace, including sexual harassment.

And Rebecca Traister, she is a writer-at-large for "New York" magazine and author of the

book "All the Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an Independent Nation."

And we welcome both of you to the program.

Maya Raghu, I'm going to start with you.

There are so many cases we're hearing about now, so many accusations and now resignations

and so forth.

It's coming very fast.

But I want to ask you about what's happening to the accused.

Some of them are losing their jobs.

Some of them are subject to legal prosecution, a few of them.

How do we determine what should happen to these men?

MAYA RAGHU, Senior Counsel, National Women's Law Center: So, you raise an excellent point,

Judy, which is that there is what is happening and what should be happening.

And really there are two forms of consequences or accountability here.

There is the legal consequences, as you mention, and then there is this broader cultural accountability

that is going to come from many different sources.

So, in terms of legal consequences, obviously, as we have seen, many of those come from the

employer.

They can conduct an investigation, and they should conduct a thorough one when they receive

complaints, and then, if this person is found to have engaged in that behavior, then they

can have disciplinary consequences, including firing.

They can also be sued by an individual victim if there was a sexual assault.

But what accountability looks like really depends on what the victim looks like.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, let's talk a little bit about that, Rebecca Traister.

Setting aside a clear legal question here, how do we determine the degree of seriousness

and what should happen to these men?

REBECCA TRAISTER, Author, "All The Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an

Independent Nation": Well, I don't know that it's our job to determine the degree of seriousness.

In part, that is for the investigations.

One of my anxieties about this moment is that it's being produced by women coming forward

and telling their stories of the harm done to them, but in part because of a media and

the public's immediate question, which is, what is going to happen to the guys?

Are they going to resign?

Are they going to be fired?

And in part because, in some cases, employers are very quickly announcing that they're going

to fire a given person.

I think that the conversation is shifting so swiftly to the harm being done to men.

They're losing their jobs.

Their reputations are being damaged.

But, in part, the focus on the immediate punishment and the immediate announcement of consequence

means that we wind up talking more about the harm being done to the accused than the systematic

and structural harm that's clearly been done to the women who are making the allegations.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Very good point.

And we will continue to think about that, Maya Raghu.

It is the case, I think, that some of these women may make their own decisions based on

what they see happening to these men.

So, what is the recourse for a man, say -- you know, whether he runs his own company or is

a lower-level employee there, whether there is an H.R. department or not?

Is there going to be a clear kind of recourse in these situations?

MAYA RAGHU: Many times, there are often isn't, and that's part of the reason that so many

victims are afraid to come forward, because even though many companies do have H.R. departments

or do have sexual harassment policies, and do have a complaint procedure, they're not

really effectively implemented.

And sexual harassers aren't being held accountable.

So, people see that, and they see that, if they come forward, they are taking an enormous

risk with their jobs and their reputations and their careers.

And, in the end, people might just tell them, you're lying, we're not going to do anything

about this, or we did an investigation, but this is someone who we want to protect.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And it does, Rebecca Traister, send a signal to these women, doesn't it?

If they're making an accusation and nothing happens, which has been the case so much in

the past, that's going to be different than if they see consequences.

REBECCA TRAISTER: Well, that's the tricky part of this situation.

So, the fact that this is a new phase of treatment of these kinds of issues, because, in fact,

even in many of the specific cases we're talking about, complaints have been made.

People filed human resources complaints against Harvey Weinstein.

There was a woman who went and complained of assault.

Nothing happened, even though that was reported.

The same was true certainly about Roger Ailes, where his harassment of women was detailed

in a book, and nothing happened to him.

Bill O'Reilly, the lawsuit brought by Andrea Mackris for sexual harassment was very public

and widely reported.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Right.

REBECCA TRAISTER: He kept his job.

And so the fact that there are any consequences at all right now, in fact, is part of the

reason that I think we do wind up focusing so much on repercussions, is, because this

is a very new thing.

I mean, look, a year ago, 16 women came forward and accused Donald trump of assault, and he

got elected president.

We have been living in a no-consequences universe.

And, yes, and it's not just that someone might come forward and not get results and not have

satisfaction, not see any consequences or repercussions.

It's that they might themselves might be published.

Look at the story of Charlie Rose.

In that Washington Post report yesterday, there's one woman who tells a mutual friend,

and she's promptly fired by Charlie Rose.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And, Maya Raghu, is this going to make a difference in -- the fact that these

men are losing their job, is this going to make a difference in how comfortable women

feel coming forward, or not?

MAYA RAGHU: Well, again, I think it might empower some women to come forward and make

reports through formal systems.

But, let's remember, those systems in schools and workplaces have failed victims for so

many years that it's going to take a lot of work by workplaces, by leaders to rebuild

trust and ensure that there is accountability for people who are harassers and predators.

And, again, I want to go back to my point about what accountability looks like depends

on who the victim is.

So, we are hearing about very high-profile people in media and entertainment, both women

who are coming forward and the people that are being held accountable and accused.

But there are people of color, women in low-wage jobs, LGBTQ people who are terrified of coming

forward, who don't have the power to come forward, and whose stories aren't being told.

And, frankly, the peers in those industries, like the music industry, aren't holding the

perpetrators accountable.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And those are, in fact, many of the stories that we want to continue to

try to focus on here on the "NewsHour."

Maya Raghu with the National Women's Law Center, Rebecca Traister, we thank you both.

MAYA RAGHU: Thank you.

REBECCA TRAISTER: Thank you.

DIFFERENCE AND HE WAS ALWAYS THE LAST GUY IN BECAUSE HE HAD TO

WORK AND THEN DRIVE ALL THE WAY IN AND THEN CANVAS AND HE'S THE

I AM A RESEARCH ASSOCIATE.

FOR ME, GETTING MONEY OUT OF POLITICS IS THE ISSUE THAT

STANDS IN THE WAY OF EVERY OTHER ISSUE THAT I CARE ABOUT, ISSUES

LIKE STOPPING THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE OR

GETTING UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE ARE ALL BEING HELD UP BY THE FACT

THAT IN THIS COUNTRY, PEOPLE WHO HAVE MORE MONEY TO SPEND IN OUR

POLITICAL SYSTEM THEN OTHERS HAVE LOST THEIR VOICE.

MONEY IN POLITICS IS PERSONAL TO ME, JUST IN THIS MOST PREVIOUS

ELECTION, I WASN'T VERY POLITICALLY ACTIVE OR

POLITICALLY CONSCIOUS EVEN BEFORE MAYBE A YEAR AND A HALF

AGO AND I WAS SORT OF AWAKENED BY BERNIE SANDERS' CAMPAIGN AND

SINCE THEN, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF MONEY IN

POLITICS AND THE THINGS THAT MONEY IN POLITICS HAS ENABLED TO

BECOME REALITY IN OUR COUNTRY.

IT'S NOT THE SORT OF WORLD THAT I WANT TO LIVE IN OR THE

KIND OF COUNTRY THAT I WANT TO LIVE IN IN THE FUTURE.

IT'S NOT THE KIND OF COUNTRY THAT I WAS PROMISED AS A KID OR

THAT I WANT TO LEAVE TO MY CHILDREN SO THAT'S KIND OF

WHY I'M FIGHTING FOR THIS.

IT'S REALLY BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE SO FAR, WORKING WITH

THE TEAM, MEETING PEOPLE FROM REALLY ALL WALKS OF LIFE IN

CONNECTICUT AND WORKING TOWARD THE SAME GOAL THAT WE SHARE.

CURRENTLY, I AM THE ORGANIZING DIRECTOR FOR THE STATE OF

CONNECTICUT.

TO COME HERE TODAY I'VE TAKEN TWO DAYS OFF OF WORK,

SPENT MONEY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO BUY A PLANE TICKET, PAY FOR

THE HOTEL REALLY BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THIS ISSUE AND THIS

ORGANIZATION AND THE PEOPLE I'VE MET THROUGH MY TIME HERE.

THE KID WENT TO YALE AND HE HAS VERY LITTLE MONEY AND HE IS

PAYING OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET TO GO TO LEARN ABOUT ORGANIZING SO

HE CAN GO BACK HOME AND FIGHT TO GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS SO WE

CAN FREE OUR GOVERNMENT.

YOU HAVE TO HELP US HIRE HIM.

WE HAVE TO GET WARRIORS LIKE THIS IN HERE AND HE SAYS IN THE

LONGER VERSION OF THE VIDEO THAT THEY HAVEN'T WON IN

CONNECTICUT YET.

THEY WON IN FIVE STATES, CONNECTICUT IS NOT ONE YET.

WE'RE REALLY CLOSE THERE AND HE SAID EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T WIN

YET, THE WINS THAT WE DID GET, HE SAID IT'S ONE OF THE MOST

FULFILLING THINGS HE'S EVER DONE IN HIS LIFE SO LOOK, I GET IT,

NOT EVERYBODY HAS THE MONEY TO DONATE BUT THEN VOLUNTEER

YOURSELF AND YOU SEE WHAT WE DO.

ALISON WAS A TEACHER IN ORANGE COUNTY AND SHE GOT PROMOTED ALL

THE WAY UP.

MIKE WAS A GUY WHO WOULD GO UP ON TELEPHONE POLES TO FIX

THEM AND NOW IS A NATIONAL DIRECTOR.

ONE IS CALLED THE MECHANIC BECAUSE HE IS A MECHANIC AND

JOHN WENT TO YALE AND HE CAME IN AND HE WORKED THE HARDEST

TO GET TO A POSITION, LET US HIRE HIM.

WOLFñPAC.COM/JOHN.

MAKE IT HAPPEN TOGETHER, IF WE FIGHT TOGETHER, WE WIN

Charlie Rose Fired For Sexual Assault - Duration: 11:07.

CBS HAS OFFICIALLY DECIDED TO PART WAYS WITH CHARLIE ROSE

THE FOLLOWING ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT THAT THE

WASHINGTON POST REPORTED ON EARLIER THIS WEEK.

NOW THE REPORT INDICATED THAT THERE WERE EIGHT WOMEN WHO

HAD WORKED WITH CHARLIE ROSE AND GRANTED INTERVIEWS TO

WASHINGTON POST, SOME ON THE CONDITION OF AN AMENITY

WHILE OTHERS DID SAY THAT THEY WERE COMFORTABLE REVEALING

WHAT THEIR IDENTITY WAS.

3 OF THE WOMEN CAME OUT AND SAID, THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST

NAME.

HERE'S WHAT I EXPERIENCED WHEN I WORKED FOR CHARLIE ROSE AND

WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND EXPOSE SOME OF HIS BEHAVIOR THAT

FIVE OTHER WOMEN ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE RAMIFICATIONS OF

COMING FORWARD SO THEY DECIDED TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS.

NOT JUST A QUICKLY DETAIL SOME OF THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HIM.

THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AT CBS STUDIOS.

THIS OFTEN TIME HAPPENED IN HIS OWN HOME IN NEW YORK AND WHAT HE

WOULD DO IS INVITE THEM TO COME OVER AND WORK AT A DESK THAT HE

HAD IN HIS OWN PERSONAL HOME AND IN A LOT OF THOSE INSTANCES

ACCORDING TO THESE ALLEGATIONS, HE WOULD PREY ON THESE WOMEN OR

TAKE ADVANTAGE

OF THEM.

I'M GOING TO HAVE SOME MORE SPECIFIC ALLEGATIONS IN

JUST A MINUTE BUT CBS DECIDED TO PART WAYS.

HE WAS ALSO SUSPENDED AT PBS.

IT IS LIKELY, I DON'T KNOW ACTUALLY WHAT PBS IS

PLANNING TO DO.

THEY WILL FIRE HIM, THAT IS MY PREDICTION BUT THEY DID

SUSPEND HIM IMMEDIATELY.

WE HAVE GONE OVER A LOT OF THESE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS

BECAUSE THIS IS A WATERSHED MOMENT.

WHEN WE'VE HIT A TIPPING POINT AND WOMEN HAVE THE COURAGE

TO COME FORWARD AND SAY WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.

SOME, AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED THROUGHOUT THE WEEKS ARE

TOUGHER CASES AND WE'VE HAD TOUGH CONVERSATIONS ABOUT

THEM AND PEOPLE HAVE CRITICIZED ON ALL SIDES AND THAT'S NORMAL

BECAUSE WE DO COMMENTARY ON THESE REALLY DIFFICULT TOPICS.

CHARLIE ROSE IS NOT A DIFFICULT CASE.

YOUR THE WHOLE LONG ARTICLE AND AS ALWAYS, WE WILL HAVE THE LINK

IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX AND YOU WILL SEE THAT IT WAS A DISASTER

AND HE DID IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

1ST OF ALL, THE SHOWER CHECKED I DIDN'T KNOW WAS A THING THAT

EXISTED BUT ANYONE DOING THE SHOWER TRICK IS CLEARLY

DOING IT, WHO WANTS TO WATCH A 70-YEAR-OLD

TAKING A SHOWER WHEN THEY ARE AN INTERN OR A STAFFER?

NO, IT IS OBVIOUS.

IT IS THE SAME MO EVERY TIME.

YOU NEED HELP FROM HOME,

YOU NEED TO REARRANGE MY BOOKS DONE THE BEGINNING IT'S FINE AND

ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAVE ACCOMMODATION IF YOU'RE IN

FLATTERY DIABETES SOMETHING WRONG IS GOING TO GET

REALLY MAD AT YOU IS GOING TO GET SOME COMPLIMENTS IN THE

BEGINNING, IT'S FIND OUT THE DRIVER TO GO TO HIS HOUSE

AND THEN AT SOME POINT THERE WILL BE DRINKS OR DINNER

AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW, HE IS TAKING A SHOWER AND THEN HE

WILL SAY FROM THE SHOWER, CAN YOU COME HERE FOR A SECOND?

AND THEN HE COMES OUT WITH THE ROBE, BUT THE ROBUST WIDE OPEN

DATABASE TO HEAR THESE STORIES WELL AFTER HE GOT CAUGHT ABOUT

GARY HART AND THEN HARVEY WEINSTEIN AND NOW CHARLIE ROSE.

IT'S NOT JUST THAT HE KEEPS SHOWING HIMSELF NAKED TO

THESE WOMEN.

HE THEN GRABS THEM.

HE IS A GONER.

HE IS DONE.

LOOK, THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS.

I BELIEVE THE WOMEN.

ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT THERE WERE SO MANY OF THEM.

THESE INCIDENTS WERE CORROBORATED BY THE

WASHINGTON POST MEANING THAT THEY REACHED OUT TO FAMILY

MEMBERS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO KNEW THE VICTIMS AND SPOKE TO

THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT THEY WERE SAYING WAS TRUE.

AT THE TIME OF THIS ALLEGED ABUSE WHICH WAS BY THE WAY

BETWEEN THE 1990S IN 2011, DID THIS INDIVIDUAL COMBINING

YOU THAT THIS HAPPENED AND THEY CORROBORATED THE CASE BUT

MORE IMPORTANTLY, CHARLIE ROSE HIMSELF HAS FESSED UP TO

AND I WILL GET TO HIS STATEMENT AND JUSTICE MINUTES BUT LOOK,

EVEN IF SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE THE CASE, THIS WAS CONSENSUAL.

ANYTIME SOMEONE IS WORKING UNDER YOU, IF YOU ARE AN EMPLOYER, THE

BOSS AND IN THIS CASE, HE'S THE BOSS, YOU HAVE POWER OVER THESE

PEOPLE.

THESE WOMEN WERE LOW-LEVEL EMPLOYEES MEANING THEY

WERE ASSISTANCE OR ASSISTANT PRODUCERS WHO WERE HOPING TO

WORK THEIR WAY UP WITHIN THE COMPANY AND SO THE ISSUE OF

CONSENT BECOMES INCREDIBLY FUZZY WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT

AN EMPLOYER HAVING ANY TYPE OF SEXUAL INVOLVEMENT WITH

SOMEONE WHO IS WORKING UNDER HIM.

TO BE CLEAR, BY THE WAY, THIS WAS HIS OWN COMPANY, SIDEKICK SO

HE WAS ABLE TO BRING THEM TO HIS SIDE GATE AND SO THERE'S NO HR,

THERE IS LESS PROTECTIONS AND THEN HE HAD HIS LONG TIME

HELPER, I FORGET IF SHE WAS AN ASSISTANT.

ACTUALLY, HIS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, HER NAME IS YVETTE

VEGA AND ACCORDING TO THE WASHINGTON POST REPORT, THE

WOMEN WENT TO HER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND SHE WAS

QUOTED AS SAYING, THAT IS JUST CHARLIE BEING CHARLIE.

NOW SHE SAYS SHE DEEPLY REGRETS HAVING DONE THAT AND EVERYBODY

KNEW, A PRODUCER CAUSING A WOMAN WHO'S GOING OVER TO CHARLIE'S

HOUSE AND SAYS, ARE YOU OKAY, ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE OKAY SO TO

BE FAIR, IT'S NOT FAIR TO SAY EVERYONE KNEW BECAUSE THERE'S A

LOT OF THINGS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW BUT AT LEAST SOME PEOPLE KNEW

THAT HEY, IF YOUNG GIRL GOES TO CHARLIE ROSE'S HOUSE, YOU HAVE

TO ASK HER IF SHE'S OKAY AND THE MOST HAUNTING STORY WAS NEAR THE

END OF THE ARTICLE WHERE, IT WAS A VERY DETAILED EXPLANATION OF

HOW HE LURED THIS ONE WOMAN IN AND THEN HE GETS NAKED AND THEN

HE STARTS TOUCHING HER AND SHE REALIZES OH MY GOD, I'M IN THIS

SECLUDED AREA AND I HAVE NOWHERE TO RUN AND SHE'S CRYING AND HE

STILL GOING AND HE STILL GOING AND IT FELT LIKE HONESTLY LIKE

THE MOVIE GET OUT SHE'S TRAPPED AND SHE CAN'T GET OUT AND

THAT'S REALLY BAD.

WHAT I NOTICE, AND IT'S A COMMON REACTION AMONG ALL THE

WOMEN WHO ARE COMING FORWARD RIGHT NOW IS FOR THE LONGEST

TIME THEY BLAME THEMSELVES AND THEY FELT LIKE THEY DID

SOMETHING WRONG OR THEY DID SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HAVE

INVITED IT AND NOW THEY'RE FINALLY COMING FORWARD AND

REALIZING NO, I'M A PERSON WHO HAD NO POSITION OF POWER WANTED

TO GET AHEAD IN THIS EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE FIELD OF WORK

AND HE SAW THAT INTO GOOD VANTAGE OF THAT THAT

AND BY THE WAY, BY GETTING AHEAD, I MEAN IT'S

THAT SUCH AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE PERSON THEY

THOUGHT WAS A LEGENDARY REPORTER AND ANCHOR AND INTERVIEWER

AND SO THEY'RE LIKE OKAY, BUT PEOPLE SAY HE'S QUIRKY, I

CAN DEAL WITH CORKY TO GET THIS AMAZING JOB IN JOURNALISM

AND IT TURNS OUT QUIRKY IS WAY WORSE THAN THEY IMAGINE.

I WANT TO READ YOU JUST A COUPLE OF THE SPECIFIC

ALLEGATIONS THAT WERE DETAILED IN THE WASHINGTON POST.

OBVIOUSLY WE CAN'T GET INTO EVERY ONE OF THEM OR

WE WOULD DEDICATE AN ENTIRE SHOW TO IT, BUT YOU SHOULD READ

THE PIECE WHICH WE WILL LINK TO IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX.

IT

JUST GOES ON AND ON.

I WANT TO READ YOU THE REACTION FROM CHARLIE ROSE.

LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 50.

HE IS

NOT TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OWNERSHIP BY

HIS ARGUMENT IS, I THOUGHT IT WAS CONSENSUAL.

WHEN YOU ASK WOMEN TO COME INTO THE SHOWER WHEN YOU

ARE NOT IN ANY KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM,

WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT THAT WAS IN ANY WAY CONSENSUAL?

WHAT A WEIRD THING.

SOMETIMES THE WOMEN WOULD BE DRIVING HIM OR SHOULD BE IN THE

PASSENGER SEAT AND HE WOULD JUST ARE GRABBING HER BREASTS.

YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS MUTUAL?

IF YOU GUYS ARE DATING ANYONE TO HAVE FUN, THAT'S DIFFERENT

THAT YOU ARE NOT ABOUT DATING, SHE WORKS UNDER HUMAN EVERY

TIME THEY WOULD BE LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING.

CHARLIE ROSE ASCRIBING MY BREAST IN THE MIDDLE THIS CAR.

THIS IS INSANE.

UNKNOWN COLLEAGUE TOLD ONE OF THE WOMEN INVOLVED,, YOU

GOT THE SHOWER TRICK.

SO IT'S SOMEWHAT KNOWN BUT AGAIN, YOU DON'T KNOW TO

WHAT EXTENT BECAUSE THERE WERE PEOPLE QUOTED IN THE

WASHINGTON POST PIECE WHO DID WORK WITH ROSE AND THEY

SAID THAT THEY NEVER EXPERIENCED OR NOTICED ANYTHING

QUESTIONABLE SO NOT EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYTHING.

OF COURSE, AND I WANT TO BE SUPER CLEAR ABOUT THAT.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET CARRIED AWAY.

RUSH LIMBAUGH TODAY, ALL OF HIS COWORKERS MUST'VE

KNOWN THAT.

HOW WOULD THEY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN HIS HOME?

APPARENTLY SOME PEOPLE KNEW BECAUSE SOME OF THE WOMEN,

BUT OBVIOUSLY, WHY WOULD NORAH O'DONNELL KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT THIS?

AND REMEMBER WHAT PREDATORS TO DO.

THEY DO IT TO THE POWERLESS NOT THE POWERFUL.

HE IS NOT GOING TO GROPE THE POWERFUL ONES BECAUSE SHE

WILL FIGHT BACK AND SHE HAS POWER TO.

INSTEAD HE

FINDS YOUNG GIRLS, LOSE THEM WHERE THEY CAN'T RUN, DOES

THE SHOWER TRICK, ETC.

THERE ARE A ACCUSERS HERE IN THREE OF THEM ARE ON THE RECORD.

HE'S DONE.

Failure to form government weakens Merkel. What's next for Germany? - Duration: 5:08.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Germany descended into political crisis today, as Chancellor Angela Merkel

called for new elections after talks to form a coalition government collapsed.

John Yang has more.

JOHN YANG: Thanks, Judy.

Chancellor Merkel's 12 years in office have cemented Germany as Europe's backbone of stability.

But her political future is now in jeopardy.

She was weakened in national elections two months ago by a new and strong challenge from

the far right.

Overhanging it all?

Merkel's open-door immigration policy of the last two years.

For what all this means for Germany, for Europe, and for the United States, we turn now to

Ian Bremmer, the founder and president of the Eurasia Group.

Ian Bremmer, thanks for joining us.

As we said, Germany for so long has been sort of the rock of stability in Europe, politically

and economically.

How did we get to this place?

IAN BREMMER, President, Eurasia Group: Well, that's right.

And, certainly, since the financial crisis in 2008, the one thing that everyone could

count on in Europe was a strong German chancellor in Angela Merkel.

But, you know, this last election didn't go well for her.

It was the worst performance of her party in decades.

And it's not because the economy was doing badly.

Indeed, well over 80 percent of Germans were optimistic about the future of the German

economy, and the middle class and the working class, unlike in France, the U.K., or the

United States, felt pretty good.

But they hated her migration policy.

You remember when Merkel said, we can do this, and they allowed in a million refugees from

Syria to come into Germany, it was incredibly unpopular.

She had to back away from the policy pretty quickly.

She didn't get support from other European nations, certainly not from President Obama

or later Trump, or from the Germans themselves.

And that really hurt her.

It also opened the door for the far-right Alternatives for Germany Deutschland party.

JOHN YANG: What does say about or how does this play into the story, the narrative of

these far-right parties across Europe gaining strength and hurting the established parties?

�MD+IT��MD-IT�IAN BREMMER: It's very much of a piece.

Now, to be very clear, there's no remote conversation about Germany leaving the Eurozone.

Everyone in Germany understands that it keeps the cost of German exports low, it benefits

them.

They are a structural beneficiary of staying in.

So, it's not euro-skepticism, but it is about building walls.

It's about keeping Germany more German.

And the fact that 13 percent of the population voted for this party, the Alternatives for

Deutschland.

It's the first time a nationalist party has been in the Bundestag since World War II.

You only needed 5 percent to get in.

They got 13 percent.

That's extraordinary.

And it really points to former East Germany, which feels kind of like Rust Belt or Appalachia,

but in Germany; 50 percent of voting age people in former East Germany say they don't believe

reunification worked, that they were left behind, and 27 percent of that population

actually voted for the AFD in recent elections.

That trend is only going to grow.

And that's one of the reasons why if you were to have new early elections in Germany, the

potential that outcome is going to be even worse for Merkel than the last election she

had is very real.

JOHN YANG: You mentioned the possibility of new elections.

Mrs. Merkel has said she doesn't like the idea of a minority government.

She seemed to be opening the door to new elections, but you say that's not -- the outcome will

hurt her even more, likely to hurt her even more?

IAN BREMMER: It could.

It could easily.

There is no good outcome here for Merkel.

This clearly weakens her significantly.

It means that the ability of the Germans to act as a real partner for Emmanuel Macron

in France to try to strengthen European institutions is really off the table right now.

Now, it's really up to the German president to decide how he wants to respond right now.

Does he want to put Merkel forward or someone else as chancellor and have a vote in parliament,

and then, after that process, you can have early elections, or force Angela Merkel to

try to work harder to put a coalition together?

But, you know, I think, even if they try to put together another grand coalition, it's

very unlikely that would cohere into a government.

So, whether it's sooner or later, I think we're likely heading for another round of

elections.

And, as you just suggested, the outcome is not going to return a strong Germany.

I do believe Merkel is ultimately likely to still get another term out of this.

But it's very different than the Merkel-driven Germany that we have seen in previous years.

JOHN YANG: Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia Group, thanks for helping us understand this.

IAN BREMMER: My pleasure.

Former Bosnian Serb general Mladić convicted of genocide, war crimes for ethnic cleansing campaign - Duration: 5:02.

JUDY WOODRUFF: As we reported earlier, the Serbian military commander Ratko Mladic was

found guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity for his role in the brutal Balkan

civil war that tore apart the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s.

Special correspondent Malcolm Brabant covered the conflict then, and reports now from Bosnia

on today's decision.

MALCOLM BRABANT: Mladic had spent 14 years on the run before being captured, and in the

weeks before today's finale, his lawyers had tried in vain to delay proceedings.

The so-called butcher of Bosnia didn't hear the convictions or sentence being delivered.

He was kicked out of court after an outburst in which he denounced the tribunal and its

proceedings in vulgar terms.

MAN: Mr. Mladic, sit.

We adjourn.

Mr. Mladic will be removed from the courtroom.

MALCOLM BRABANT: With Mladic taken to the cells and silence restored, the judge ran

through the charge sheet, guilty on 10 out of 11 indictments.

MAN: Guilty, as a member of various joint criminal enterprises, of the following counts,

count two, genocide, count three, persecution, a crime against humanity.

MALCOLM BRABANT: The charges mainly related to Mladic's supervision of the massacre of

Bosnian men and boys after the Serbs overran Srebrenica in the summer of 1995.

The men were separated from the women, who were put on buses and driven away.

Most of their sons, husbands, brothers and fathers were never seen again.

MAN: For having committed these crimes, the chamber sentences Mr. Ratko Mladic to life

imprisonment.

MALCOLM BRABANT: Mladic's conviction wraps up the prosecution of the main three instigators

of Bosnia's ethnic cleansing.

The Bosnian Serbs' political leader, Radovan Karadzic, was found guilty of similar charges

last year.

And Slobodan Milosevic, the architect of Serbian expansionism after the collapse of former

Yugoslavia, died in his prison cell from a heart attack.

The court proceedings were watched by relatives of those massacred in Srebrenica.

There was relief that, given Mladic's age and health problems, the life sentence will

probably mean that he will die in prison.

HATIDZA MEHMEDOVIC, Mothers of Srebrenica (through translator): This should mean a lot

for justice and reconciliation, if the other side is willing to look into the facts and

accept the arguments to move towards a better future, and to stop negating the genocide

and all the happenings in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

MALCOLM BRABANT: Mladic was also found guilty of killing civilians in Sarajevo during the

long siege.

It still bears the scars of Serb mortar rounds, as does former child soldier Almir Garbo,

who has post-traumatic stress disorder after seeing his friends blown to pieces by Mladic's

forces during the siege.

ALMIR GARBO, Former Child Soldier (through translator): For me, Mladic is a monster.

Only a monster can kill children and order a massacre of children and raping little girls.

MALCOLM BRABANT: There has been some criticism of the length of time the war crimes tribunal

took to deliver verdicts, but longtime Sarajevo-based speechwriter and adviser Kevin Sullivan, who

was wounded during the conflict, is satisfied justice has finally prevailed.

KEVIN SULLIVAN, Author, "The Longest Winter": In terms of closure, I think each individual

has to reach their own closure.

Politically, I think this is important, because it shows that you don't have to throw your

hands up and say there is nothing can be done.

MALCOLM BRABANT: Ratko Mladic may have lost the war after NATO intervened.

He may have faced justice at the first war crimes tribunal since Nuremberg, but still

he's a victor of sorts.

He fought for ethnic cleansing, and, to an extent, he succeeded.

Sarajevo, once a beacon is multi-ethnicity, is now predominantly Muslim city.

Most Serbs and Croats left.

Bosnia remains divided.

And many Serbs regard him as a war hero, not a war criminal.

In the Serbian town of Novi Sad, there was anger at what some perceived as victor's justice.

JASMINA STOJCIC, Serbia (through translator): I have no comment.

Really, what a verdict.

The man should have been released to go home, not sent to prison, because he is guilty of

nothing.

MIROLJUB SEKULIC, Serbia (through translator): Well, disgusting, disgusting because Mladic

represent us, us the people, who are innocent.

They will brand us guilty, nothing else.

MALCOLM BRABANT: Mladic's lawyer announced he will appeal the verdicts, but as far as

the people he wanted to eradicate are concerned, these gravestones don't lie.

'Hamilton' creator Lin-Manuel Miranda takes on new role as activist for Puerto Rico - Duration: 5:53.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Next: One of the shining lights of Broadway brings his star power to Washington

and the cause of the people of hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.

John Yang has this report.

JOHN YANG: In Washington last weekend, Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright,

composer and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda was on a different kind of stage, leading a march

calling on Congress to help Puerto Rico recover.

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA, Artist/Political Activist: The compassion of the American people is real

and it is still here.

And if the government would meet us where we already are, that would be really an incredible

thing.

JOHN YANG: For the creator and star of "Hamilton" and "In the Heights," it's a new, emerging

role: political activist.

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: Oh, I'm so uncomfortable in the space.

You can't -- I can't tell you how much I would rather be writing a new musical right now.

But this is where we are.

And we're two months after Hurricane Maria.

Many of the needs of the 3.5 million American citizens on the island are still not being

met, basic needs like water and electricity.

I'm here because we need to be here, and we need to continue to amplify the needs of the

island.

JOHN YANG: Miranda's connection to Puerto Rico is strong.

His parents were born there, and, as a child, he spent a month every year there visiting

his grandparents.

When the hurricane hit, how did it affect you?

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: I will always remember the terrible silence that followed.

That's what Puerto Ricans who weren't in Puerto Rico experienced, was days and days of silence

from the island.

My social media feeds and my phone became this roll call of towns.

"Has anyone heard from Lares?"

"My grandmother lives in Vega Alta."

"My son works in Ponce."

JOHN YANG: That roll call inspired a song to raise money for hurricane relief.

Called "Almost Like Praying," its lyrics call out all 78 cities and towns on the island,

including Vega Alta, his grandparents' home.

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: I get a sense of pride when I hear those words in a song, and that's

what I was hoping I would do for all Puerto Ricans.

The notion that these are 21 artists of our brightest lights in the Latino community,

everyone from Marc Anthony, to Gloria Estefan, to Fat Joe, to Jennifer Lopez, and everyone

in between, and the notion that no town goes unsung, and the notion that, oh, my God, Luis

Fonsi sang my town's name, and the feeling of pride that comes with that.

JOHN YANG: The song was also inspired by "West Side Story"'s "Maria."

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: That's like my favorite song from "West Side Story."

I knew it would have a different connotation forever.

JOHN YANG: The idea that you're calling out Maria, in a way, and it was Maria that delivered

the final blow to Puerto Rico.

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: For Puerto Ricans now, there is the time before Hurricane Maria and

the time after.

It was a way of taking a couple of lines from that song and flipping it.

And I isolated the phrase "almost like praying" because that's what we always send in the

wake of a tragedy, right, thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers.

But thoughts and prayers are really not enough to get the job done.

JOHN YANG: Miranda visited Puerto Rico earlier this month, helping distribute aid, meeting

the U.S. Coast Guard, which Alexander Hamilton created, and visiting what's left of his grandparents'

house.

What was it like to see the island after the storms hit, and what was it like to go back

to Vega Alta?

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: It's very surreal.

There's so many sections still without power.

The gas situation has eased, but the electricity situation is still touch and go, and we are

at the two-month anniversary of the hurricane right now, so that's maddening.

That's maddening.

JOHN YANG: Puerto Rico is very much on Miranda's mind these days, as last week, when he received

the Latin Grammy's President's Merit Award.

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: Puerto Rico!

Puerto Rico!

Puerto Rico!

Puerto Rico!

JOHN YANG: The son of a Democratic consultant, Miranda has largely avoided politics.

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: I grew up with my dad running political campaigns.

I know what goes into it.

I have seen how the sausage gets made.

That's not interesting to me.

JOHN YANG: But in the days after Hurricane Maria, he seemed to find his voice in a big

way.

When President Trump criticized the San Juan mayor, he fired back, "You're going straight

to hell."

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: I'm pretty good with words.

Those were the only ones I had left at my disposal.

I'm accustomed to presidents on either side of the political spectrum uniting us in the

face of natural disasters.

I have never seen a president say that the victims of a natural disaster weren't doing

enough for themselves, or attack an elected official on the front line of such a disaster.

JOHN YANG: Miranda will also try to help Puerto Rico in a more familiar way.

He's taking "Hamilton" to San Juan in early 2019, and returning to the role of Alexander

Hamilton for the first time since originating it on Broadway.

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: In the wake of the tragedy of Hurricane Maria and everything after, it

felt all the more important to say, listen, we have planted this flag in the sand.

It's a year and three months from now, but we have faith, and we have to work to make

sure Puerto Rico is ready.

JOHN YANG: And doing everything he can to make it happen.

For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm John Yang in Washington.
